The first two are two variations on the same joke, the first one with much better drawing. I really like the art work of the last one also. Next time, I’m taking my computer so I can look at the pictures before I leave so I’ll know which ones are blurry.

Disneyland Slides

Disneyland souvenir photo slides. Disneyland at Night VP21, and Main Street Electrical Parade set one VP24. Still in the package and unopened. From back when the average person had a lousy camera. 1950s? 1960s? Anyone know? I was supposed to bring these home and try to sell them for him. If you are interested in these contact woodenheart.net.

Bullfights in Juarez Mexico

Bullfights in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Plaza Monumental. Juarez is just the other side of El Paso, Texas. September 4, 1966. Pepe Luis Vazquez and Gabino Aguilar. Sunny side only $1.00. Shady side, $2.00. That cracks me up, but it makes sense. This was in some stuff from my grandfather. It looks more like a postcard advertisement than a ticket, which is what I first thought it was.

A very nice picture postcard of a Boeing 727 from Continental Airlines. I don’t know if this was given out on the plane or sold in an airport gift shop.

If you like planes, be sure to check out the Kelly Aviation Library. I’ve done the writing for it.
